When digital devices first appeared, we could not imagine how they would change our lives. Some years later, many studies now warn of long screen time exposure. Kao wishes to draw the attention to this research and solutions offered by the printing industry. Printing is the perfect complement to new touch technologies and Kao low fusing temperature products are needed more than ever.

This article presents two ingredients developed by Kao Corporation for skincare. An emulsifier for W/O emulsions specially designed to avoid a sticky feel and easily spreadable, and an extremely moisturizing emollient with a skin biomimetic structure and non-greasy feel.

The new market trends have led Kao Chemicals Europe to develop a New Conditioning System (NCS) - with 100% active ingredients as readyto-use white pearls - that shows an optimum cost-effectiveness ratio, as well as excellent ecotoxicological properties which allow that it is not classified according to the CLP system and not to be subject to storage restrictions.

The chemical industry has been attempting to introduce measures and products that lessen its impact on human health and the environment. This has been mirrored by efforts from European authorities to minimise the release of microplastics in all aspects of chemical production and consumption.
